The Dauthi originally lived on Dominaria, maybe with another outward appearance. During the time of their planeshift, the Dauthi were at war with the Soltari. The Thalakos were entrapped in the conflict, despite their neutrality. All three races were caught in the maelstrom of energy that surrounded Rath, and trapped within the "Shadows," the extraplanar space between Rath and Dominaria.[1] They were left in an incorporeal state, unable to communicate with people on either plane, yet able to see into both the Dominarian reality and that of Rath. This predicament led the Dauthi to lose their sanity; it's possible that the Dauthi were already a race close to madness, and their conditon provided the last push.
Dauthi aren't content to turn their psychotic nature on each other; some of them are able to seize corporeal beings and drag them them to the shadow side of reality where their compatriots are ready to tear them apart.[2]
